A nine-year-old child has moved the National Green Tribunal (NGT) alleging inaction by the Centre to mitigate the adverse impact of climate change. NGT has sought reply from the Environment Ministry.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar issued notices to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and Central Pollution Control Board asking them to respond in two weeks.
The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by Uttarakhand resident Ridhima Pandey through her legal guardian seeking directions to all appraisal bodies to assess the climate related issues while granting environmental clearance.
